Comments: Cf. Virginia Hargraves Wood Goddard. In the 1940 Art Annual, there were entries for Virginia Hargraves Wood Goddard, b. 1873, near St. Louis, MO, living in Mattituck, NY, 1940; and one for a Virginia Hargraves Wood, born in Wash., DC (no year given) and living in NYC and Leeton Forest, Warrenton, VA, 1940. Based on the education and memberships listed it would seem that they are two individual artists, although this is not certain. Petteys combined all the information into one listing for Virginia Hargraves Wood Goddard.
